You're smart to go with the recommendations of the hitch guy. Extending a rear hitch reduces the hitch weight capacity by 50%. No way would I consider using any part of the coach (including ladder) to carry any weight of the hitch. My hitch capacity is 10K pounds but I wouldn't even consider doing what you're talking about. I too will haul a small car (not a toad system fan) or golf cart around with us but I will go with a landscape trailer with premium tires or small enclosed trailer. The rear overhang on these campers is too long and my concern is the lateral and vertical shock loads the extended hitch will experience with road bums and swells in the road. This can increase the stress 10 fold.
